Best Xbox One Racing Games in 2019

Start those engines, grab the wheel, and put the pedal to the metal. We've rounded up the very best racing games for Xbox One in 2019, and each option is well worth a look. Whether you're a hardcore racing game enthusiast or a more casual player, there's a game out there for you.

Forza Motorsport 7 is one for track fanatics, framed as the biggest, most ambitious racer Microsoft has attempted. It's the poster child for Xbox One X, packing 700 cars and stacks of circuits in 4K and 60 FPS.

Doubling down on the series' strengths, DiRT Rally 2.0 is an unbeatable off-road simulation on Xbox One. Its gripping vehicular handling rewards the best, spanning a variety of rigorous stages, with more to come. And it's tons of fun.

Taking racing beyond the roads, DiRT 4 is the premier Xbox One rally experience in 2018. There are different vehicles, locations, and conditions on offer, coming as close to (or as far from) reality as desired.

The latest official Formula 1 game encapsulates every aspect of the lightning-fast single-seater series. You can now further tune the experience to your liking, without losing immersion in its glitz and glamor.

Full speed ahead

Microsoft's latest racing entry, Forza Horizon 4, is easily among the top games on Xbox One today – even for those who aren't fans of the genre. The game offers a sizeable and faithful recreation of the United Kingdom, housing hundreds of coveted cars and challenging races for all. And committed to regular new content, it's a racing package that can support countless hours of fun.

While titles like DiRT 4 and F1 2019 may have limited appeal, these deliver a perfected approach to their classes of motoring. DiRT doubles down on rallying with its responsive terrains and hefty handling, while the high-speed thrill of Formula 1 never fades away. Regardless, no matter which game you play, there's value to be found in all these Xbox One racers.
